Nearly twenty years ago, I wrote "Refactoring", which is probably my most successful book. It's still a useful book, as the technique is one that doesn't change much with new languages and technology. But given that, a book that uses java.util.Vector is showing its age a bit. So, for the last couple of years I've been working on a new edition.

The insight in good questions comes from seeing that gap, exploring its edges and forming a question from them that can serve as an invitation to others

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

The biggest and most important unsolved problem in Information Security, arguably all of IT, is asset inventory. Rather, the lack of an up-to-date asset inventory that includes all websites, servers, databases, desktops, laptops, data, and so on.

We all want our customers to like our business. Actually, forget that: it’s better to say that we NEED our customers to like our business. Studies have consistently shown people are more likely to spend money with companies that they, well, like.
